I have decided on the things I want to do with the genetics on my cows and what I want my genetics to be when it comes to breeding for replacement heifers, but I am still on the fence about what I want to do with my terminal sires. The cows they would be breeding will be 35-50% Salers, 15-25% Angus, and the rest either Simmental Hereford South Devon or Wagyu. I plan on doing a few different variations over the next few years and see what works best for me and what I like most. I do know what I think will be what I want but holding back the whole formula until I have tried it out for ability to replicate and longevity.
So I would love to hear peoples thoughts on what breed they think would cross well with these cows to produce good quality fast growing calves. I am not worried about color.
Also has anyone tried any typical terminal sire breed crosses as terminal sires ie: Charlouis/ Belgium Blue or like that.
I have been involved in breeding different types of animals my whole life and love genetics. I have been doing my research on cattle genetics the last few years and think I am getting a pretty firm grip on it. I look forward to your thoughts on terminal sires.
